Injury surveillance is one of the most important and basic elements of injury prevention and control. It helps determine the magnitude of injury morbidity and mortality, the leading causes of injury, and the population groups and behaviors associated with the greatest risk. Surveillance data is fundamental to determining program and prevention priorities. Furthermore, this data is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of program activities and for identifying problems that need further investigation. Fifty-nine million injuries were reported in 1995, resulting in 37 million hospital emergency department visits and 2.6 million hospital discharges. Injuries also accounted for 37% of all hospital emergency department visits, and about 8% of all short-stay hospital discharges. That year, 147,891 people died from injuries: 61% from unintentional injuries, 21% from suicides, and 15% were homicides. Death from injury is the leading cause of years of potential life lost before age 75 in the United States.
